C.C. Lemon

25 Feb

It was just recently that I was introduced to a wonderful new soft-drink that I thought I had to share with everyone. Living here in Okinawa Japan and experiencing new brands and taste has been tremendous. One of the new brands that has recently caught my attention is C.C. Lemon.cclemon C.C. Lemon

C.C. Lemon is a Japanese soft-drink produced by Suntory. Suntory Limited is a very famous Japanese brewing company that has been around since the late 1800′s. They originally started out distributing alcoholic beverages but then expanded into soft-drinks and vintage wines. I just need to say thanks for making C.C. Lemon, it is great!

As you may have already figured out, it is a lemon flavored drink. However, it is not as sour as one would think. It is the perfect blend of lemon awesomeness in every bottle, ha-ha.

What is extremely difficult to believe is the amount of lemons they say go into each drink. If you take a look at the picture it says, "70 lemons worth of Vitamin C in every bottle". Now that’s a lot of lemons!

After checking things out I found another great thing I liked about C.C. Lemon, it turns out that here in Japan you can watch C.C. Lemon commercials with none other then the Simspon family as the main stars. This just keeps on getting better by the minute.

One of the funny things about the Japanese is that some of them don’t know that the Simpsons are huge in the United States and have been running for over nineteen seasons. Some believe they are just characters of Suntory and a  C.C. Lemon branding technique.

Well, there is only one way for you to really know what I am talking about. I hope you enjoy!

I can’t be sure at this point, but I don’t believe that C.C. Lemon is available in the United States on a massive retail level. If you want to try it out desperately,  Mitsuwa Markets which is located throughout the U.S. is one location that I found to carry C.C. Lemon.

If Tokyo, samurai’s and sushi aren’t your thing, come to Japan for some C.C. Lemon.

    How could I forget the day you bought me a CC Lemon.

    Of course, according to you…. it’s just a lemon with “C.C.” written on it with a sharpie.

    My fetching Mrs went to Japan, fell in love with CC Lemon, brought back two six-packs of tiny cans, and wants more!!!
    Any clues where to get it in the States? Direct import from Suntory??? She’s got a Jones! The Web doesn’t help much so far.
